You can now tell the Republican leadership what you think by taking their survey. If the multiple choice questions are inadequate, you can further explain your position to them in a comment box at the end of the survey. I wrote quite a bit there.
Here’s the link: http://growthopp.gop.com/default.aspx
Without them, we will continually drain away our money to the lowest level; just as assuredly as water flows through locks in a canal.
Get used to it. I’ve had entire articles copied.
They can't.
The sheeple are not aware that companies do NOT pay taxes.
They are merely another cost of doing business and are PASSED on to the final customer.
The Gov't does NOT want this slight of hand noticed.
HIGH wages for American workers are also PASSED on to the customer.
When a new FORD is bought; wages and worker insurance cost more than the STEEL in the vehicle.
I was just having fun, I think it is funny.
I think the demorats are realizing that they can’t offer more grand progressive program schemes like free dental care or free veterinary care, etc.
What they can do is keep expanding food stamps, social security disability, union pension supports, bloc grants to the cities, etc.
The big question is can they expand their base by TAKING AWAY things from Americans such as their guns, salt, sugar, property rights ( EPA ),cigarettes, etc. while legalizing drugs, same sex marriage, post delivery abortions, euthanasia, smart meters in homes, etc.
Demorats just can’t help themselves. They have to be in control of your lives. At what point will it all break down, not so much fiscally which it will, but in terms of big government intrusion in individual lives?
What’s excellent about the GOP caving on illegal immigration—which will assure their party’s perpetual minority status at the voting booth?
As long as you have 50% of the population lying around grabbing money from the other 50% there is nothing you’re going to say to want them to go back to work.
Ummm... maybe some day conservatives will understand and come to the realization that "annihilation" is underlying every leftist's desire. And this is not political annihilation. A leftist's heart's desire is to use the power of the State to MURDER every political opponent. Historically, this happens every time the achieve the power to do so.
Hispanics, except for Cuban exiles, have NEVER looked to the GOP for ANYTHING. They've always supported the Democratic Party, to get FREE STUFF promised them by "Landslide Lint'n" Johnson and others -- straight quid-pro-quo vote-buying. That's why Johnson and Ted Kennedy labored so strenuously to tear down the dam holding back illegal Mexican immigration.
LBJ didn't want immigrants from Vanuatu or Thailand or Peru or southern Europe. He wanted Mexicans because he knew they were pickled in communismo and trabajadores militantes, state-supported market subsidies and price controls on staples and all that Frida Kahlo crap down there. That is exactly and pure-dimensionally LBJ's motive for breaking the border.
And true to form, Mexican and Mexican-American voters have never given the GOP more than about 30-35% of their votes.
Central Americans and South Americans are another story -- they split their votes, and when someone like George W. Bush gets 40% or better Hispanic votes, that is where they're coming from, not from Tejano Democrats or California Aztlanists charmed by George P's Mexican mom.
Kemp was a Bush-like liberal on immigration, and a supporter of racial preferences. I’m sure he was never once in his life asked about the unintended and increasingly huge collision between these two positions.
So on those two issues he was worthless, and most elite Republicans have already followed his lead there.
[Buckley]
"Isn't electing him Speaker of the House a rather... extravagant means of educating him?"
[/Buckley]
I will always remember Kemp’s response to Al Gore’s backhanded compliment, that at least ‘ol Jack wasn’t racist like the rest of his party, at the 96 VP debates: “thanks”...
It really is bizarre how so many Republicans and alleged conservatives believe this utter nonsense that Hispanic immigrants are natural Republicans. You hear it all the time, from dolts like Sean Hannity or people capable of interesting insight like Charles Krauthammer. They persist in this fantasy despite no evidence to back it up.
Republicans always lose the Hispanic vote, and they always have. Reagan (amnesty, romantic rhetoric), Bush I (signed legislation increasing legal immigration, including the absurd Diversity Visa), and Bush II (tried to pass amnesty and massive increase in legal immigration, plus nauseating leftwing rhetoric) were all liberal on immigration, yet Hispanics voted against them all.
You’d think actual voting results would convince them, but believers of this myth say the voting is a result of insensitive and harsh rhetoric from Republicans, and their pursuit of ‘anti-immigrant’ policies. Apparently they also ignore polling data about the views of Hispanics on specific issues. If they bothered looking, they’d see that Hispanics profess liberal views on a whole host of issues. Whether its Obamacare or gun control, they are left of center. And on social issues like gay marriage they are moving left like the rest of society.
I think some of them, deep down, must realize the terrible truth, that it was a huge mistake for the country to ever let Ted Kennedy rewrite immigration policy in the 1960s. And the mistake was compounded by Reagan’s amnesty and the Bush I’s expansion of immigration. They must know that mass immigration was always going to favor the Democrats. But now it seems nothing can be done to stop the flood, so they lash out at those who have spoken the truth and blame them for an inevitable result of mass immigration.
Huh?
Guess I missed something. Anyway I just wanted to go on record as being opposed to sending any more American industry to the Chicoms.
That is my real point. Other than that I’m with you 100%.
They don’t get it and they won’t get it. This is an all out war and the media, not the dems, is the number one enemy. They need to stop caring what the MSM thinks.
I always thought that was a covering lie-meme, myself.
The reality being that the GOP works for major employers who are committed almost to a man to breaking wages and driving down costs (even if it means the American People end up living in the slums of Calcutta, or their equivalent), and that therefore the leadership of the GOP is fully committed to open immigration by hook or by crook.
The Wall Street Journal, pre-9/11, once fulminated in an editorial that "the Constitution should be amended to read, 'There shall be open borders.'" Literally.
They modified that stance after the World Trade Center fell, killing so many back-office employees that even the Lords of Wall Street couldn't ignore the slaughter of their own down the street.
What we have here is RiNO droppings about keeping the border open so that the RiNOate's select clientele of big, low-wage employers can keep on breaking wages and driving down costs (but not prices!!) by hiring a steady, unstanched flow of illegals from Mexico.
Hispanics are one thing, Mexicans another. Mexican nationals are thoroughly steeped, even imbued to the bone, with far-left, Communist ideas about the relationship of the individual to the State. They are culturally resistant to the core idea of America. THAT is why the 'Rats have wanted them voting, ever since LBJ tried to get the wartime braceros to stay on in 1953. (But President Eisenhower signed an Executive Order that sent them home.) LBJ wanted those Mexicans in the voting booth from the very first -- and that's why he promptly attacked the immigration laws in 1965 as part of his legislative blitz. NO, it was NOT Jack Kennedy's idea -- it was Landslide Lint'n's, who never met 1,000,000 Mexicans he didn't want to give the vote.
NO, LBJ did NOT want people from southern Europe or Vanuatu or Tonga or Australia or Mongolia. He wanted Mexicans because he knew they'd vote Democrat, and they'd vote Democrat to the death -- down through four or five generations, easily ("cultural conservatism" -- their tendency to vote the way Grandfather did -- is very strong).
"Immigration reform" is all about putting Mexican voters in U.S. voting booths. Other Hispanics will split their votes and give the GOP a chance to tell them our cultural and political message -- Mexicans won't, and that's why the 'Rats love them.
At least Bill will never have to worry again about being caught in the same room as Vidal. ;)
